Read the Character Creation rules (link) if you haven't already. Read them again if you've already read them. If you read them now and still haven't come up with an answer to your question, read them a third time.
Specifically section 2.1, "Select Handle", if the link wasn't clear enough.

It would help if you listed the exact reason given in the e-mail. However, if I were to guess, I would think that the person declining it was thinking of the canon surname Horn, which is disallowed.
